INSTRUMENT PANEL - Description

06/99 to 03/02, up to 05/99

Description

The gauges and warning lights which form the instrument panel are grouped in a single instrument containing:

  • electronic speedometer - milometer/trip meter
  • digital clock
  • fuel gauge, with reserve warning light
  • warning lights

The speedometer signal comes from the sensor on the gearbox, this signal is 'repeated' for other functions which require the information.

The milometer consists of an LCD which alternately shows the total and trip mileage or the outside temperature.

The clock is digital and is adjusted through the two buttons in the centre/lower part of the actual instrument marked 'h' and 'min'.

The fuel level is displayed by means of electronic circuitry inside the module which operates the gauge and the reserve warning light (when the gauge is at 1/8 of its travel). The internal logic 'damps' the signal avoiding fluctuations.

The warning lights consist of LEDs built into the electronic circuit, and so cannot be replaced.

The operation of the warning lights which are not included in other functions are illustrated in depth:

  • insufficient brake fluid level/handbrake;
  • minimum oil pressure;
  • brake pad wear warning light
  • seat belt not fastened warning light

The others are described and illustrated in the diagrams dealing with the components to which they refer:

The instrument is lit up when the ignition is ON and the light is dimmed with the side lights signal.

The instrument has direct supply lines and supply lines controlled by the ignition protected by two fuses located in the junction unit.

Description

The gauges and warning lights which form the instrument panel are grouped in a single instrument containing:

  • electronic speedometer
  • total mileage counter/trip recorder
  • digital clock
  • petrol gauge, with reserve warning light
  • methane gauge, with reserve warning light
  • warning lights

The speedometer signal comes from the sensor on the gearbox, this signal is 'repeated' for other functions which require the information.

The milometer consists of an LCD which alternately shows the total and trip mileage.

The clock is digital and is adjusted through the two buttons in the centre/lower part of the instrument marked 'h' and 'min'.

The fuel level is displayed by means of electronic circuitry inside the module which operates the gauge and the reserve warning light (when the gauge is at 1/8 of its travel). The internal logic 'damps' the signal avoiding fluctuations.

The methane level is displayed via electronic circuitry inside the actual module which operates the 6 green LEDs proportionally to the pressure measured in the methane circuit. A seventh, amber coloured, LED indicates the 'reserve'.

The internal logic 'dampens' the signal, preventing fluctuations (e.g. the reading changes when the signal persists for at least 250 msec.).

The reserve warning light comes on when the last of the green LEDs is still on: the last green LED switching off, on the other hand, means that the methane is completely used up and the system automatically switches over to running on petrol with the appropriate warning light coming on.

The warning lights consist of LEDs built into the electronic circuit, and so cannot be replaced.

The operation of the warning lights which are not included in other functions are illustrated in depth:

  • insufficient brake fluid level/handbrake;
  • minimum oil pressure;
  • brake pad wear warning light

The others are described and illustrated in the diagrams dealing with the components to which they refer:

The instrument is lit up when the ignition is ON and the light is dimmed with the side lights signal.

The instrument has direct supply lines and supply lines controlled by the ignition protected by two fuses located in the junction unit.

The clock is digital and is adjusted through the two buttons in the centre/lower part of the instrument marked 'h' and 'min'.

The methane level is displayed via electronic circuitry inside the module, which operates the gauge and the warning light (which comes on when the gauge is at about 1/4 of its travel). The inernal logic 'damps' the signal, avoiding fluctuations.

The warning lights consist of LEDs built into the electronic circuit, and so cannot be replaced.

Description

The gauges and warning lights which form the instrument panel are grouped in a single instrument containing:

  • electronic speedometer
  • electronic rev counter
  • petrol gauge, with reserve warning light
  • LPG gauge, with reserve warning light
  • warning lights
  • multifunction display (milometer/trip recorder - external temperature gauge - oil level gauge - digital clock - Trip computer).

The LPG level is displayed via electronic circuitry inside the actual module which operates the 6 green LEDs proportionally to the level measured in the LPG circuit.

The internal logic 'dampens' the signal, preventing fluctuations (e.g. the reading changes when the signal persists for at least 250 ms. ).

The amber warning light comes on when the last of the green LEDs is still lit, thus indicating the reserve condition.

The last green LED going out, with only the amber warning light on, instead indicates that the LPG is completely finished and that the changeover to the petrol fuel supply is taking place automatically, with the relevant warning light coming on.
